Publisher's Synopsis

After living overseas and working at a high-profile tech firm, the New Hire returns to the U.S. at a professional crossroads. She takes a job at a promising up-and-coming startup. Welcome to the New Frontier. No rules, no roadmap and no accountability. There, she manages big ideas - and even bigger personalities. Nothing is what it seems, and it is hard to tell friend from foe.


Before long, the New Hire questions her decision to join the company. The Founder is charming. Wealthy. Seemingly successful. And maybe also a complete and utter fake. Are her colleagues simply incompetent or actually committing fraud?


In this comedic and stark story, you'll follow the New Hire and her quirky, frequently absurd, coworkers while they attempt (well, she) attempts to launch a... what was it again? These twists and turns offer an inside look at how white-collar crime has become a $400B industry in the United States alone. Shell: A Completely Untrue, Totally Made-Up Tale About Not Working at a Startup is a must-read for anyone who has held a job in tech, has an interest in startups or enjoys workplace comedies.
